Raised seam copper roof will last your lifetime .
Panels will be swapped out more than once during the life of your roof . Install enough panels to over produce your usage , more is better , sell the excess back to the power company and use the difference to fund your down time needs . If you can manage your down time usage , the plus side will pay for new panels as/when needed . Of course , being able to put them somewhere other than on your roof is ideal . |

Tesla hit the nail on the head with the solar panel roof shingles... Wonder why nobody else came up with those ? Putting the regular panels on the ground is ideal, but unfortunately not enough space for them in my yard.

Also, the more we move towards electric for transportation, ....let's just say that overage and selling bank energy to the grid won't be as much the issue. It'll be battery storage etc. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/05/c...la-solar-roof/ |

The solar shingle idea has been around for decades, believe it or not. The issue is in creating something that actually works at a price point that folks will pay. Tesla is also fighting through those issues. Maybe they'll get it, maybe they won't. I hope they do.

Solar roof shingles are inevitable and will make massive panels look out-dated. Definitely worth the wait.

It really is tough to argue that point.... I guess its just a matter of how much time we need to wait..... a year or two ? 7 yrs ?

Back when I was researching solar power , about 10 years ago , solar shingles already existed . They simply were not as efficient as the regular panels .

Hi Mary, how you doing? It'll be interesting to see once the technology catches up and prices go down to see how solar panels go. Thinking that in 15-20 years they could cost less than other heating options from year 1, including installation.

I've got a friend...
...here in San Antonio who, on occasion, posts pictures of his electric bill on Facebook. It's usually something in the $25 range.
